Thomas John Seeley of Chippewa Falls died peacefully in his sleep with family and friends at his side on September 7, 2024. Thomas (Tom) was born May 6, 1954, to Everett and Doreen Seeley. Tom grew up in Eau Claire, Wisconsin and graduated from North High School in 1972. He married his high school sweetheart, Julie Olson, and they had three kids.

Tom loved all things sports including cheering on the Green Bay Packers, Wisconsin Badgers, and Milwaukee Brewers, always making sure to represent them from head to toe on game days. He was also an avid athlete himself, playing basketball and baseball for the North High Huskies. He loved golfing, fishing, and having morning coffee with his friends. He loved spending time with Bella, the golden retriever and special friends Mickey and Randy.
Tom is preceded in death by his father, Everett Seeley, and is survived by his three children: Erica (Shawn) O'Gorman, Rebecca Seeley, and Ryan Seeley; five grandchildren: Dylan (Elizabeth) O’Gorman, Olivia and Brooklyn O’Gorman, and Maddie and Karstyn Seeley.
